Sofia "The Great"

Hello internet people who happen to stumble upon this page. I welcome you to my little section on this blog. I am warning you to leave right now or else you might become enlighten to all my crazy thoughts about books, cats, and world domination. Proceed with caution.

I am really trying to work on my Read-A-Thon list and I finally got around to reading Imperfect Chemistry by Mary Frame.

Synopsis:

Lucy London puts the word genius to shame. Having obtained her PhD in microbiology by the age of twenty, she's amassed a wealth of knowledge, but one subject still eludes her—people. The pendulum of passions experienced by those around her both confuses and intrigues her, so when she’s offered a grant to study emotion as a pathogen, she jumps on the opportunity.

When her attempts to come up with an actual experiment quickly drop from lackluster to nonexistent, she’s given a choice: figure out how to conduct a groundbreaking study on passion, or lose both the grant and her position at the university. Put on leave until she can crack the perfect proposal, she finds there’s only one way she can study emotions—by experiencing them herself.

Enter Jensen Walker, Lucy's neighbor and the one person on the planet she finds strangely and maddeningly appealing. Jensen's life is the stuff of campus legend, messy, emotional, complicated—in short, the perfect starting point for Lucy's study. When her tenaciousness wears him down and he consents to help her, sparks fly. To her surprise, Lucy finds herself battling with her own emotions, as foreign as they are intense. With the clock ticking on her deadline, Lucy must decide what's more important: analyzing her passions...or giving in to them?

This was a really fun read. I was immediately drawn to Lucy with her awkwardness and intelligence. I believe she might have had maybe some form of Asperger but that just made her more of a unique character. I really loved her bluntness and the fact that she was funny when she wasn't trying to be. I liked when she was describe as Spock from Star Trek (yeah my geek flag went flying) and I felt that was the perfect description. I do feel Lucy might have been a tad out of touch with social norms especially coming from a wonderful family.
Jensen was a great male lead who wasn't your typical book boyfriend. He was sexy & good looking but also was just a really good guy. I liked the fact that he has a lot of patience with Lucy while other guys would have looked the other. Their love story was just fun to read and experience.
Imperfect Chemistry is a great, adorable book to read about love and friendships. The writing was well done and I can't wait to read more from Mary Frame. I am also glad to see more books added to the New Adult genre that is not normally seen. Yes, there needs to be more funny books.

I would recommend this book for fans of Penny Reid, Cassie Mae and those looking for a light read.

This was a very cute adorable read. We've all seen those movies where the romantic leads pretending to be dating but are in fact falling for each other. Well as a chick-flick fan this book hit the right spot. Yeah the story-line was a t...

I don't know whether to give this book 4 or 5 stars. It was pretty damn good. My only complaint is that I got kinda lost in all of the space jargon. Seriously, I felt kinda dumb because everything sounded so smart that I'm just gonna as...

This year I'm planning on rereading some of my favorite books. I'm glad I started with one of my favorite authors. This book is still really good. This time I listen to the audio book instead of actually reading the book. My only complai...

“Love isn’t roses. It’s those little square caramels and a root beer from the gas station because he knows that’s your favorite snack. It’s watching a musical with you without groaning. It’s handing you your glasses at night because he k...

I want to first start off that I got to meet the author at Houston author bash earlier this year. I was immediately drawn to the cover of this book. I just think it's a beautiful cover. This was the only physical book that I bought at t...

About ME!

I was born a long time ago in a hospital in Houston At least that's the story that was told to me. I can't recall these details so I can't say with 100% accuracy that its true.

Fast forward some years and I'm an adult women who has a passion for reading. Some might say its unhealthy. Those people suck and should burn in fiery pit. My passion for reading lead me into running the best book club in Houston. I also like to attend author signings. I don't consider that stalking if the author advertised the event. Now when I'm outside their window that might be another story but lets not get into semantics. .

I enjoy reading a lot of different genres from traditionally and indie published books. I don't go out of my way to check how a book was published. If the book captures my interest then that is good enough for me to read. Now that being said I will review books in the genres below:
